BOBBIN-H OLDER.

Specification o Letters Patent.

Patented April 14, 1908.

Application filed November 16, 1907. Serial No. 402,364.

I To all whom it map l concern:

Be it known t citizens of the United States, residing at 'Manchester, in the county of. Ilillsboro and State of New Hampshire, have invented new and it contemplates the provision of a simple constructed with a view of positioning of a bobbin in the device when roller E which projects slightly be 0nd the former.

removed from the shuttle bod Fig. 3 is a e with the grooves f, and-'then'move the said so and inexpensive device for the 1pur ose stated, aci itating the the bobbin is placed in the shuttle body.

The invention will be fully understoodfrom the following description and claims when the same are read in connection with the drawings, accompanyin and forming, part of this specification, in w ich:

Figure d is a detail plan view illustrating portions of a shuttle body and a bobbin in dotted lines and our novel holder in full lines as properly arranged relative to the shuttle b0 y and the bobbin to hold the latter in the tion of the holder as the same appears when transverse 'sectiontaken in t e plane indicated by the line 33 of 'Fi 2, lookingin the direction of the arrow, an Fig, 4 is a detail view showing the spring and the roller. therein.

Similar letters designate correspondingparts in' all of the views of the drawings, re-'.'

f; proper working position in the shuttle bod to exert pressure against the base of the b0 erring to which:

shuttle'body, and D is t e spring of the holder. The body 0 is formed of one iece of steel or other metal com atible'wit its function; and it comprises a s Qank a adapted to be fixed in the shuttle bod A, and open aws bdiverging. in a curv" mear manner rom the inner endof the shank a); These paws b are provided in the inner sides of their orward portions ,with vertical or 'approxi mately vertical grooves a shaped to form inclined holding surfaces d for engaging the circumferential projections e on the bobbin B and holdin'lsaid bobbin inv roper positionin the shutt e body A; andsai jaws b 'arealso provided in their inner'sides with grooves f I at We, Gannon Borssore NEAULT and NAPOLEON 'BorssonNEAULr,

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical sec-' bobbin in the holder.

which communicate with and extend outward and upward, preferably at an obtuse angle as shown, from the upper ends of the faceof the said stretch g as shown or a purpose which-Will be resently pointed out in detail The said roller E'is loosely mounted on a transverse pin F so. as to assure its turning .fr'eely inthe o ening h, and the said pin F is. carried throng ears '5 bent upwards from the base of the spring, and its ends are upset against the outer sides of the said ears or are otherwise fixed vthereto in any manner suitable'to the purpose of the holder.

"It is necessary in lacing the bobbin in our novel holder, to ho the bobbin at such an angle of inclination as to aline its projections promotions e through the grooves f and into the grooves c. Incident to this yoperation the roller 'E serves to. force the bobbin to.

.slide in the grooves-f and seat in the grooves,

c, and it .also serves when the-bobbin is in bin and assist in the pro er'retention of the ecauseof th s and the fact that the bobbin must assume an inclined position before it can leave the holder, there is no liability of theb'obbin flying out of its proper position in the shuttle body.

As will be gathered from the foregoingthev roller E contributes-to the-elficiencyof bobbin holders of the type illustrated and de scribed, and yet does not'appr'eciably add tothe cost of rodu'cing the same.-

Having escribed' our invention, what we claim and desire to secure by Letters-Patent," 1s:

- 1 A bobbin holden-ior-use' in a shuttle body, comprising a bod having open awsinthe inner sides of whic are upright grooves and inclined grooves communicating with and extending at an angle from the upper endsof the upright grooves, and a roller mounted between the outer portions of the, open jaws.

2. A bobbin holder for use ina shuttle body, comprising a bodv having open jaws in the inner sides of'whic are grooves, and a roller mounted between the outer portions of theopenjaws. 3. A bobbin'holder for use in a shuttle body, comprising a bod having 0 en jaws in the inner-sides: of Whic are uprig t grooves and inclined grooves communicating with and extending at an angle from vthe upper ends of the upright g ooves, a device carried 'b. the body and having an inner portion inc ineid parallel to. the upper grooves and provided with an opening, and a roller mounted in'the device andextending through the said opening in the inclined ortion of the device;

l 4. A bobbin holder or use in a shuttle body, comprising a body having open jaws in he inner sides of which are upright grooves and inclined grooves communicating with and extending at an angle from the upper ends of the u right grooves; said body a so having a shan a spring straddling the shank of the body and'having an inner p'o rtion inclined parallel tothe uppergrooves and provided with an opening, and also havmg a base and ears extending upward therefrom at opposite sides of the mclined portion, a transverse pin extending between and 'fixed to thes'aid ears of the spring, and a roller mounted on said in and extending through the opening in t einclined portion of the s ring.

5. T e combination of a device adapted for use in a bobbin holder and having a forward inclined ortion, and ,a roller mounted in and carried y said dvice and projecting beyond the face of the inclined portion thereof. i p

6. The combination of a spring designed for use in a bobbin holder and having an upper portion, an inclined forward portion in GEDEON' Z BQISSQNNEAULT.- NAPOLEON BOISSONNEAULTQ -Witnesses:
